Opposition of normalization with Zionist regime
clear message of World Cup in Qatar

Palestinian experts

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 revealed the fact that the normalization agreements are a fake and undemocratic lie and did not change the way the Arabs look at Israel.
 

Gaza- (Qodsna)- The Palestine football team did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, but the Palestinians had an overwhelming presence in the hearts of the Arab teams and hundreds of thousands of Arab and foreign fans.  Even the streets of Qatar were decorated with the Palestinian flag; fans wore the distinctive Palestinian keffiyeh; and they were adorned with slogans in support of Palestine.

 

This issue turned the eyes once again to the compass of Muslims and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Despite the normalization agreements and Arab regimes' haste to hold ties with Zionist regime and despite the efforts of these rulers to introduce an imaginary enemy in the name of Iran, this issue proves that the Arab nations are more aware than their rulers and distinguish  the enemy from the friend.

 

In response to the support of the Palestinian issue, especially the support of the Morocco national team players in every victory, the Zionist media outlets and experts acknowledged the reality of the failure of the project of normalizing relations between the regime and some Arab countries and said that the Arab world is far from the normalizing relations with the Zionist regime.

 

Qodsna correspondent in Gaza interviews with a group of political and sports experts in the Gaza Strip in this regard, and asked their opinion about the political and social dimensions of this event.

 

Qatar World Cup, a seal of approval on the failure of Abraham's Accord

 

 

Regarding the clear message of widespread support for the Palestinian cause in the Qatar World Cup, Sharhabil Al-Ghareeb, head of the International Relations Forum for Dialogue and Political Studies said: The Arab and Muslim fans at this tournament, by showing their solidarity with Palestine, declared that Abraham's Accord to normalize the relations between the Zionist regime and the Arab countries has completely failed.

 

What happened in the World Cup in Qatar confirms that the behavior of the Arab regimes and signing of normalization agreements with Israel to integrate it as an integral part of the region is an individual action and does not related to the desire and will of Arab and Muslim nations, he added.

Of course, people's opposition to normalization agreements with the Zionist regime was not only reflected in the World Cup, Al-Ghareeb pointed out, adding that “the UAE Expo 2020 was also less popular welcome due to the participation of the Zionist regime in this exhibition”.

 

He went on to say: What happened this year at the World Cup in Qatar is a new slap in the face of Israel, a regime that abuses every event to find public acceptance for it in Arab and Islamic circles. It is also a major setback for Israeli diplomacy, a regime that has always proudly said able to infiltrate public opinion and present itself as a normal regime.

 

Opposing the occupying regime in this major sports event proves that sports is not beyond politics, but is an arena for supporting the struggles of the oppressed and occupied people, especially the Palestinian people, Political analyst added.

 

“Turning the eyes to the Palestinian issue during the World Cup was a confirmation of the failure of Abraham's Accord”, Al-Ghareeb told qodsna.

 

 

Israel's strategic failure in the field of public opinion

 

 

Political analyst and university professor, Hatem Al-Aila told qodsna: What happened in the World Cup in Qatar was a strong slap to the Zionist enemy and revealed the Arab people's hatred of this enemy as an occupying and usurping entity.

 

Al-Aila emphasized that the popular support at the World Cup in Qatar revived the fact that the cause of Palestine is still a central issue for the Arab and Islamic world.

 

The Arab and Muslim spectators present in this tournament, by showing their solidarity with Palestine, gave a great shock to the decision makers of Israel's strategic affairs. This is while the decision-makers in the strategic areas of the Zionist regime have been trying to erase the Palestinian cause from the Arab public's mind with various plans and exploiting the political and economic conditions prevailing in the Arab countries for several decades and tried to make Israel accepted as a normal country by the public opinion of the region and the world, he added.

 

“World Cup in Qatar revealed the fact that the normalization agreements are a fake and undemocratic lie and did not change the Arabs' view of Israel. It also reveals that the only way to solve the Palestinian issue is to adopt the most democratic path that requires recognition all of the legitimate rights of Palestinian nation”.

 

People's solidarity with the Palestinian issue blew away the cotton of normalization with Israel

 

 

Member of the Palestine Sports Media Association, Alaa Salama, told qodsna that the refusal of the fans of the World Cup to interview with Israeli journalists blew away the cotton of the normalization of Tel Aviv's political relations with some Arab countries and proved that the Arab nations consider Zionist regime as their enemy and the Zionist regime has no place in the Arab and world public opinion.

 

The World Cup was an opportunity to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause and draw attention to this issue. The spectators and fans’ solidarity with the Palestinian people was a strong response to the Arab regimes seeking normalizing ties with Zionist regime. It has also offered the world the best diplomatic scenario to express the oppression of the Palestinians, he noted.

 

In any case, this round of the World Cup was a painful slap to the Zionist regime and also an emphasis on the fact that the nations are steadfast and support Palestine, Salama added.

 

 

The Arab nations have not turned their backs on their Palestinian brothers

 

 

Mustafa Ebrahim, a writer and analyst of political issues, said: People's solidarity with the Palestinian issue during the days of the Qatar World Cup showed that the body and social structure of the Arab countries will not accept normalizing relations with the occupiers.

 

During the world cup playing, the political situation was turned to the other side and the name of Palestine was repeated more than any other event, which showed that despite the differences between the Arab regimes, the Arab nations have not turned their backs on their Palestinian brothers and the Palestinian issue is still important for them and they are united in confronting the Zionist enemy, he added.

 

“The train of normalization of relations could not change the position of the Arab communities towards Tel Aviv, and the solidarity of the Arab world with the Palestinian cause clarified and proved this issue”.
